"Famous for high-standard, moderately priced Spanish food, notably paella, eaten appropriately enough in a dining room that looks like something straight out of a luxurious Iberian villa."

And save room for the innovative desserts called "Mini Indulgences," served in shot glasses---enough for two or three bites of pecan pie with vanilla mousse, carrot cake, Key lime pie and Rocky Road---ten to choose from in all, and none more than 250 calories.
Fodor's "Parts of the menu change every week at this innovative restaurant that serves different foods at different times of year, depending on what's in season." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The seasonally inspired entrees—all under 475 calories—range from caramelized sea scallops to oak-grilled filet mignon. It’s a great place to enjoy an intimate meal without breaking the bank." Full review
